A Letter from Our Congressman
My dear Constituents.
The weather has been great up
here the past week—cool and brisk,
and just the brand of fall weath
er that fills you with energy. The
autumn, sunshine invites everyone
outdoors.
The House this week has con
sidered several bills of a minor
nature while awaiting the action of
lhe s , nate on the Exeess Profits
Tax BiU and the Appropriation
Measure to takt . care of the MiU .
tary Selective Service Act. When
these measures reach us and are
dec ; de d, there is nothing left on
our cak . ndar t 0 keep us here, so
the pr0S pect for a recess is good,
Some m€mbers lhlnk we should
remain here in Washington all
th , fall while some we can
r ,, cess f or thirty days, subject of
course to immediate recall by our
leaders in case of any klnd of
emergency. However, no one seems
t o think we should adjourn sine
die . We will not leave Washing
to so long as there remains any
thing to do here. The leaders on
b oth sides of the aisle are keeping
j n c i 0SPS t touch with the situa
i t i 0 n daily,
Wednesday the Democrats in
the House met in solemn caucus
Speaker Leader and the Floor or Majority j
were from the South, and
there seemed to be a feeling among
the Western and Eastern Demo- j
erats that some other section J
should have the floor leader’s
:
place, since Speaker Rayburn is a
Southerner of the old school. So !
they put forth only one candidate;
for the place, the Honorable John)
W. McCormack, of Boston, who.
represents the Twelfth District of!
Massachusetts.
Three other Members were con- ,
sidered, all from the South, they j
being Hon. Jere Cooper of Ten
nessee, Hon. John E. Rankin of
Mississippi and Hon. Clifton A.
Woodrum of Virginia. Cooper and!
Rankin withdrew their names, and
the final vote was between Wood
rum and McCormack, the latter
wininng by a substantial majority.
Mr. McCormack is a srtong man,!
will alert, make energetic good and leader forceful, having; Hej
a
been Democratic floor leader ini
the Massachusetts State legislature, j
It is coincident that both the
Majority and Minority Leaders in
Congress are now from the State!
of Massachusetts—John MeCor
mack of Boston leading the Demo
and Joe Martin of North
to elect a floor leader to succeed
the Honorable Sam Rayburn,
whom we unanimously elected
Speaker of the House of Represen

Johnson Orders
“Crack Down”
On Child Labor
With the beginning of school
throughout the south, Dr. James
G. Johnson, acting regional direc
tor of the wage and hour division
for Georgia and Florida has given
orders to his inspection forces to
“crack down” harder than ever on
violations of child labor provis
ions of the Fair Labor Standards
Act.
In announcing his “crack down”
order, Dr. Johnson called atten
tion to the general provisions of
the act, which forbid “oppressive
child labor” in the manufacture,
production or distribution of goods
for interstate commerce. Regula
tions issued by the children’s bu
reau under section 12 of the Fair
Labor Standards Act are particu
larly stringent, Dr. Johnson said,
with reference to work by chil
dren between 14 and 16 years of
age. These forbid the employ
ment of children under any cir
cumstances in the following occu
pations: :
Manufacturing, mining or pro
cessing occupations including du
ties in workrooms or work places
where goods are manufactured,
mined or processed.
Operations involving operation
or tending to hoisting apparatus
or any power driven machinery
other than office machines.
Operation of motor vehicles or
as helpers on them.
Public messenger service.
Children of these ages may be
employed, however, in other and
non-hazardous occupations, pro
vided they work:
Outside school hours.
Not more than 40 hours a week
when school is not in session.
Not more than 18 hours a week
when school is in session.
Not more than 8 hours a day
when school is not in session.
Not more than 3 hours a day
when school is in session.
All work for children of these
ages must be confined ,to the
hours between 7 a. m and 7 p. m.
except in the distribution of news
papers, except that until Septem
ber 30 the evening limit is 8 p.
m. However, even in the distri
bution of newspapers they cannot
be employed both in the forenoon
and the afternoon, In other
words, the child cannot carry a
route for both morning and even
| ing newspapers the same day.
' Since the act makes no provision
for the employment of children
under 14 years of age, Dr, John
son said the presumption is that
their employment in interstate
commerce for any purpose or in
any occupation is forbidden.
Other regulations govern the
hiring of older children which are
not quite so stringent. However,
in any case. Dr. Johnson warns,
it is incumbent upon the employer
of children to be in position to
prove the age of the children he
Sanford Wheat
Has High Yield
The new Sanford wheat, devel
oped at the Georgia Experiment
Station, will yield 26.7 bushels
per acre compared with 20.3 bush
els of Gasta, the highest yielding
variety heretofore grown in Geor
gia, Director H. P. Stuckey ad
vised the State Board of Regents
today. This wheat was produced
by R. F- Bledsoe, agronomist at the
station, who started t*' : 3 work 20
years ago %
These yields are ava'okes over
a fe,r year period of testing.
Named in honor of the umvo’.iity
system s hmoved chancihor, Dr. S
V. Sanford, the wheat is a crcrs
between Purplestraw (Biuestom)
and Kanred, a western wheat.
Leaf rust is a fungus disease of
wheat that attacks the crop of
Georgia practically every year,
The only practical method of con
trol is to grow varieties of wheat
resistant to the disease. The Kan
red variety has considerable resis
tance to leaf rust.
Cross breeding of these two va
rieties was continued til a wheat
was produced that had all the high
yielding characteristics of Purple
straw combined with leaf rust re
sistance of Kanred. Sanford
wheat is resistant to leaf rust,
but not immune. Very little rust
appears in Sanford up to ten days
before harvest. As early rust
does most damage, this late rust
is not considered serious.
“This year the experiment sta
tion had 200 acres of wheat plant
ed in this selection and expects to
distribute 3,000 or 4,000 bushels of
seed wheat to Georgia farmers
this fall,” Dr. H. P. Stuckey, di
rector of the station announced.
employs. This can be done only,
he said, by production of a state
or federal certificate of age. Oral
evidence, said Dr. Johnson, will
never be accepted by wage and
hour inspectors.
The Fair Labor Standards Act
does not interfere with the em
ployment of a child by his parents,
or those standing in the place (f
parents, provided it is not in one
of the hazardous occupations.
